Aileen Ang, 30, of Washington Street, has been swamped by reporters and cameras since she was an unwitting participant in a much publicized child custody drama that continues to be played out on the international stage. She had a seemingly uneventful Sunday afternoon drive to New York City with Clark Rockefeller and his daughter, Reigh Storrow Boss, in tow.

Today, reporters from many newspapers and TV stations, including the New York Daily News, the New York Post, the Boston Globe and WBZ-TV Channel 7, waited for hours across from Ang's house hoping for at least a photo opportunity, if not an interview.

The gaggle attracted a lot of attention from passersby, who no doubt didn't miss the Channel 7 van, complete with satellite dish, parked just a half-block away.

As of just before 6:30 p.m., however, the reporters were still waiting for Ang to arrive home. Some occupied themselves taking pictures of dogs walking by and of some of the beautiful gardens on Washington Street. At least one was scouting out local inns in case he wound up having to stay over to pursue the story tomorrow.
